5 out of 5. The very full Sound Academy saw a level of musicianship that is very rare these days. We had very high expectations for this show when we walked into the venue – not only were they met they were blown away.
For 18 years, Rik Emmett was estranged, both personally and professionally, from the two other members of the legendary Canadian classic rock power trio Triumph. But a melting of the icy relationship between him, Gil Moore and Mike Levine in 2006 has led to a rekindled friendship and working relationship that continues, on and off, to this day.
The evening was billed as ” An Acoustic Night of Triumph…and More,” and fans could not have asked for more than what was delivered this past Friday night. A bevy of the Canadian Trio’s most well known songs were offered in a refreshed and acoustic format.
Rik will be performing at Sound Academy in the rock quartet format along with Dave Dunlop (guitar), Steve Skingley (bass), and Mike Churchill (drums). Get your tickets for tonight’s show now!
For the last 4 years Todd’s friends have been keeping his memory alive by doing a fundraiser for the Tomorrows Children’s Fund called Todd’s Night Out. Todd was a major Rik Emmett and Triumph fan. Todd’s Night Out. So far with your help, we have raised forty six thousand dollars!!!
Rik & Michael Shotton’s studio writing projects evolved 2007’s unapologetically classic, hard, melodic rock album Liberty Manifesto – a labor of love that’s life – affirming and liberating, featuring mature lyric themes, polished songwriting and arranging, and challenging ensemble instrumentation. Emmett revisits a style he’d left in ‘93.
Win a pair of tickets to see the Rik Emmett Band August 23rd at Toronto’s Sound Academy. Do not miss one of the world’s best guitarist and founding member of Canada’s best ever hard rock band, Triumph. Details to win towards end of interview.
The fans demanded it, and the fans finally got it. After 20 years apart, the long-awaited Triumph reunion (of vocalist/guitarist Rik Emmett, bassist/keyboardist Mike Levine, and vocalist/drummer Gil Moore) took place at Sweden Rock Festival, on June 7th, 2008. And on August 28th, 2012, fans outside of Sweden will finally get a chance to see, hear, and experience this awesome reunion.
